Press release: Go green and stay green
Is it more important to travel than to arrive? In the midst of the flying frenzy, it would certainly seem so. Ditch the plane for the train and avoid a guilt trip. Cut the carbon getting from Cardiff to Carcassonne. The debate is all about how you get to your destination not what you do when you get there. But when you only have a 1 or 2 week holiday, or just a weekend break, the 'arriving' is pretty crucial. Simply taking the train doesn't mean carte 'verte' to do what you want when you arrive. Why not travel responsibly and holiday responsibly, or to put it in other words: go green and stay green. To help you do just that, responsibletravel.com has come up with a few green and gorgeous UK places to stay...
